Introduction

 Hello,

My name is Emma Connolly and I live in Donadea in Kildare and I started studying creative digital media in TUD in Blanchardstown, I am 18 years old and I completed my leaving cert in 2021 during the pandemic so it wasn't a traditional leaving cert that I took part in. I am starting this course with no background into any sort of  CDM insights so its all going to be very new to be but I am looking forwards to learning everything that's on this course I am most looking forward to learn about photography and hopefully be using to the college cameras where I can put the skills ill be learning to use. I am also looking forward to my visual creativity as I feel in this class I might be able to express some of my art skills in sketching and hopefully get to learn new skills that I can use in sketching also. I chose this course as I felt drawn to it whilst reading the potential career paths that I could potentially achieve within doing the course.in the future I hope to get into the likes of film production. working in the film industry is something that I would love to do its very appealing to me and I feel not only do I get this opportunity with this course i also get an insight of other modules that I may take more of a liking too.


I chose this picture off google as I feel it represents the creative digital media course the best in descriptive words  it includes a lot of key words that are associated with this course for example some of the words represented above include coding, content, video, data, recording, electronics, online which mainly represents a lot of what the course is about as it seems quite technical.

Digital media

 For week 4 I watched 3 videos about digital media and digital literacy. In the first video it was discussed the importance of digital literacy in the world today. Digital media is an importance now days as its needed in most places of employment, and as the years go on technology is getting more advanced and is becoming more necessary to have these skills. Before watching these videos I wasn't very aware of the importance to have digital media skills but as the technology is developing more and more its becoming a necessity to have. The tools I think that are needed for someone working in the digital media field is coding skills knowing how to not copyright as was explained in video 3 when people assumed they were using the photo without giving the person as share of the profit. Copyright is important as for people working in the media industry they need to be wary that using some sounds or artists songs could lead to their work being taken down. I think that people like to create...

media compression

For this week I learned about media compression which I have never really thought about before or have never came across this topic before. I have learned that media compression is uploading a video in the correct format and size depending on the website and size of video. The aim is to essentially make the file smaller whilst containing the quality of the video the main four methods of using compression are frame, colour, picture, sound. there are two types of compression that occur theses are lossy which is when some information that isn't relevant is lost. And then there's lossless which is the opposite its where every information in the sile must maintain in the file and cannot be removed. This technique is also applies to audio compression with lossy and lossless as in the video "what you lose when you compress music to mp "in this video it demonstrates the lossy method in the case where as some of the audio has been cut but it is unnoticeable to the public as we...

week 12, project task

 For the group project my role was to research the use sampling in the music industry I also researched the importance of copyright and how its important for artists to own the rights to there songs so no one can steal their songs and take credit for them. I researched different artists and came across Kanye west who used a music sample from daft punk and used it in his own song but gave credit to daft punk and got permission. in another case I researched lawsuits regarding copyright and came across mac millers 10 million dollar lawsuit as he never gave credit to the original owner of a sound that he used and there for didn't make profit off his song.  After conducting this project task I have realised that working in a group makes you have a better understanding for carrying out a specific tasks. I found working in a group quite well and considering the circumstances of the world right now communicating with everyone went well as we had the use of the platform discord which w...
